JUST PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A USED CAR DEALER 8/26/2020 AND WAS DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES WENT CRAZY WITH A CONTINUOUS BUZZING SOUND FROM THE BRAKES AND THE DASH ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON, WOULD NOT STOP CAUSING ME TO RUN THE STOP SIGN AND MAKE A TURN TO SLOW DOWN AND FINALLY COME TO A STOP. HAD THE TROUBLE CODE READ AND THE STORE READ THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE AS C1391 AND RESET SO I COULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE SLOWLY HOME. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THIS DTC 1391 BUT MY 2010 VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEY NEED TO RECALL ALL OF THE 2010 PRIUS.

PRIUS HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES AND HAS BEEN RUNNING PERFECTLY. TODAY WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY AND BEGAN ALARMING, WHILE SUDDENLY MY BRAKE LOCKED UP. THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT AND INJURY IF IT OCCURRED UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A PREVIOUS BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF AND WHICH HAS SINCE EXPIRED. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE REISSUED TO INCLUDE THE MANY 2010 PRIUSES AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM.

MY ABS SYSTEM STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF PROBLEMS, AND I STARTED GETTING CODES FOR ALL SORTS OF BRAKE-RELATED ISSUES. MY BRAKES ENDED UP LOCKING UP AND NOT WORKING, AND MY BATTERY IN MY CAR DIED BECAUSE IT WAS THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS NOT ABLE TO RECHARGE MY BATTERY. EVEN THOUGH I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH IT IN FEBRUARY, APPARENTLY TOYOTA SAID THAT BECAUSE I HAD A 2010 PRIUS, THAT SINCE NOVEMBER 31, 2019 HAD PASSED, THE RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY "RAN OUT" ON IT. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS RAN ON IT, THEY SAID THAT THEY NEEDED $3,200 TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THIS INCLUDED BOTH THE PURCHASING AND INSTALLATION OF A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER/MASTER CYLINDER ASSEM AND AN ABS PUMP MOTOR ASSEM. I OBVIOUSLY DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE REPAIR AND THEY ARE TELLING ME TO GO KICK ROCKS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE ISSUE NOT BEING FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT THEN ALLOWED MY BATTERY (WHICH RUNS AROUND $1,500) TO GET COMPLETELY DRAINED AND PREVENTED IT FROM BEING PROPERLY RECHARGED BY THE BRAKE SYSTEM.

MY BRAKES HAS ALWAYS HAD A WEAK FEEL AND IT WOULD LOSE STOPPING POWER WHEN BRAKING ON A BUMPY ROAD. ITS ALMOST LIKE, THE BRAKES RELEASES WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO RECALLS FOR THE 2010 PRIUS BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN IT. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN GET THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE RECALL? ITS JUST A SOFTWARE COMPUTER UPDATE, BUT I HAVE A FEELING THEY WILL NOT DO IT SINCE MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH I EXPERIENCE THE SYMPTOMS OF THE 2 BRAKE RECALLS FOR THE 2010 PRIUS. THANK YOU.

MY WIFE HAD A 'NEAR-DEATH' EXPERIENCE ON 22-MAR-18 WHILE DRIVING HER PRIUS (2010) BACK HOME. SHE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE FREEWAY (I-10) IN HOUSTON AND SUDDENLY HER ABS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AND SHE CAN SHE ALL WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD (ABS WARNING LIGHT, BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT, SLIP INDICATOR) WERE LIT. AS SOON AS SHE SAW THESE WARNING, SHE TRIED TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE SAFELY BY APPLYING BRAKES, BUT BRAKES WERE BARELY RESPONSIVE. AT THIS TIME, SHE WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED AROUND 65 MPH. SHE KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDALS AND SLOWLY MOVED TOWARDS THE SHOULDER AREA. AFTER TRAVELING FOR SOME DISTANCE, THE VEHICLE STOPPED EVENTUALLY. SHE CALLED TOW TRUCK AND TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP NEARBY. WE ARE WAITING FOR THE RESPONSE FROM THE TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER ABOUT THE FAULT.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT (75MPH), I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO TRAFFIC AND NOTICED MY CARS ABILITY TO BRAKE WAS SEVERELY COMPROMISED. I THEN NOTICED MY CARS BRAKES, ABS, MASTER WARNING AND VSC LIGHTS HAD CAME ON. GIVEN THAT MY CAR HAS 103K MILES ON IT, I FIGURED IT IS TIME FOR A BRAKE PAD SERVICE. WITH THE LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY, I DECIDED TO MAKE THE SHORT DRIVE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR BRAKE SERVICE. AFTER THE DEALER INSPECTED MY CAR, A REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT THE BRAKE PADS THAT ARE CAUSING THE LIGHTS IN YOUR DASH TO GO ON BUT RATHER THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY ADVISED ME THAT IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT I DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE UNTIL THE ISSUE IS REMEDIED BY REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER AT A COST OF OVER 2K. I HAD TO ALSO INCUR THE COST OF A RENTAL SINCE THE BOOSTER WAS NOT IN STOCK AND WOULD TAKE OVER THE WEEKEND TO RECEIVE. I WAS TAKEN ABACK BY THE TOTAL COST OF THE SERVICE BUT HAD NO CHOICE AND PROCEED TO GET IT REPAIRED. UPON RECEIVING MY CAR A FEW DAYS LATER, I DROVE TO WORK AND UPON MY RETURN HOME, THE ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF WITH ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHTING UP AND THE CARS BRAKING ABILITY WAS AGAIN COMPROMISED. EXTREMELY IRATE, I DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND UPON INSPECTING THE CAR THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOW THE ACCUMULATOR THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS TIME THE DEALER ABSORBED THE COST OF OVER 3K TO REPLACE IT. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR ANY KNOWN RECALLS AND FOUND THE ISSUE WAS BEING ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA WITH A RECALL HOWEVER MY CARS VIN WAS NOT PART OF IT. IT IS MY HOPES THAT YOU MAKE TOYOTA AWARE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE AND INITIATE A RECALL ON ALL 2010 PRIUS MODELS AND NOT JUST SOME. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GET THE COST I INCURRED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE REIMBURSED AT SOME POINT.
